This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive biography of the legendary Empresario who colonized Texas for the Mexican government before leading the Texas Revolution. First published in 1925, The Life of Stephen F. Austin remains one of the finest works of Texas biography. An historian at the University of Texas, Eugene C. Barker spent nearly twenty-five years researching and writing this magisterial narrative, combining impeccable academic standards with engaging and lively prose. The son of Moses Austin, who received an empresario grant from Spain to settle Texas, Stephen took the mantle and began settling the region for the newly independent state of Mexico. He sold parcels of land to families of Anglo-Americans who later became known as the Old Three Hundred. When this growing Anglo community rebelled against the Mexican government, Austin led volunteer forces to victory at the Siege of Bexar and later served as Secretary of State for the Republic of Texas under President Houston.
Download or read book Fighting Texas Navy 1832 1843 written by Douglas V. Meed and published by Taylor Trade Publishing. This book was released on 2001-07-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a century and a half Texans have honored the heroes of the Texas fight for independence. But the courageous seamen of the Texas navy have been all but forgotten. The fought the fury of the Gulf storms and braved the guns of a powerful fleet for more than a decade, all the while reviled as outlaws by their president, Sam Houston. But against all odds they triumphed. They dominated the third coast of North America, the Gulf of Mexico, from New Orleans to the Yucatan. Their control of these waters was critical to the very existence of the struggling republic. This is the heroic story of those seaborne Texans who were often outnumbered, usually outgunned, but never outsailed and never, ever outfought.

Download or read book Sam Houston and the Alamo Avengers written by Brian Kilmeade and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller now in paperback with a new epilogue. In March 1836, the Mexican army led by General Santa Anna massacred more than two hundred Texians who had been trapped in the Alamo. After thirteen days of fighting, American legends Jim Bowie and Davey Crockett died there, along with other Americans who had moved to Texas looking for a fresh start. It was a crushing blow to Texas’s fight for freedom. But the story doesn’t end there. The defeat galvanized the Texian settlers, and under General Sam Houston’s leadership they rallied. Six weeks after the Alamo, Houston and his band of settlers defeated Santa Anna’s army in a shocking victory, winning the independence for which so many had died. Sam Houston and the Alamo Avengers recaptures this pivotal war that changed America forever, and sheds light on the tightrope all war heroes walk between courage and calculation. Thanks to Kilmeade’s storytelling, a new generation of readers will remember the Alamo—and recognize the lesser known heroes who snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
Download or read book John Wesley Hardin written by Leon Claire Metz and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thus spoke one lawman about John Wesley Hardin, easily the most feared and fearless of all the gunfighters in the West. Nobody knows the exact number of his victims-perhaps as few as twenty or as many as fifty. In his way of thinking, Hardin never shot a man who did not deserve it. Seeking to gain insight into Hardin’s homicidal mind, Leon Metz describes how Hardin’s bloody career began in post-Civil War Central Texas, when lawlessness and killings were commonplace, and traces his life of violence until his capture and imprisonment in 1878. After numerous unsuccessful escape attempts, Hardin settled down and received a pardon years later in 1895. He wrote an autobiography but did not live to see it published. Within a few months of his release, John Selman gunned him down in an El Paso saloon.
